The trick to get a shy, but friendly, dog to like you is eye contact. Dogs looks for eye contact as a sign of trust and safety.

Unlike cats. Dont ever look a stranger cat in the eye if you want them to let you pet them. Cats use eye contact as a sign of aggression between them.

    I mean kinda. Cat eye contact is a bit more complex.

    eye contact no blinking: leave me alone

    eye contact slow blinking: I like you

    aware but not looking at you: you may approach

    eyes closed: I love you

    eye contact with dilated pupils: murder time

    more or less
